[Samba] Winxp netlogon script

[Khanh Tran]

Ok, so now I've upgraded to RedHat Linux 9, Kernel 2.4.20-18.9,
glibc-2.3.2-27.9, samba 2.2.8a.  My XP workstations still aren't even trying
to run the login script.  Any more ideas?


smb.conf:

[global]
        workgroup = ACADEMIC
        netbios name = SLC3
        interfaces = 172.16.0.3 127.0.0.1
        bind interfaces only = Yes
        hosts allow = 172.16. 10.
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts
        domain admin group = @admin
        add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser -n -g machines -c Machine -d
/dev/null -s /bin/false %m$
        unix password sync = yes
        smb passwd file = /var/samba/private/smbpasswd
        log level = 1
        debug timestamp = yes
        password level = 1
        passwd program = /var/samba/bin/syncpass.sh %u %n
        passwd chat = *Password* *changed*
        logon script = scripts\%g.bat
        logon drive = H:
        logon home = \\SLC3\%u
        domain logons = Yes
        os level = 65
        preferred master = True
        domain master = True
        wins support = Yes
        time server = True
        guest account = ftp

[netlogon]
        path = /var/samba/netlogon
        browseable = no

[homes]
        comment = home directory support
        read only = No
        inherit permissions=yes
        browseable = no

[data]
        comment = Data Resources
        path = /var/data
        admin users = @admin
        read only = No 
        create mask = 0775   
        directory mask = 0775
        browseable = no

Folks,

For what it is worth, in my testing of samba-3 domain logon behaviour I have
found logon script processing totally reliable. The only instance of trouble
that I have come across so far was with sites running RedHat 7.3 that did
NOT have the glibc and kernel updates. In every case where the updates have
been applied there has been no pleoblem.

If you want your problems resolved then a little more detail might help.

What version of samba?
What platform (OS version and updates)?
What smb.conf info?

How are clients configured?
